First Time Using Compression and PEMF in Denver? Here’s What to Expect
If you’re new to Normatec compression or PEMF therapy in Denver, welcome. Many guests arrive at Upswell curious about recovery tools they’ve heard athletes and wellness professionals talk about—but aren’t quite sure how they work or what they’ll feel like.
This guide is designed to help first-time visitors feel informed, comfortable, and confident before their first Revive session.
What Is Revive at Upswell?
Revive is Upswell’s recovery-focused experience, featuring two complementary modalities:
Normatec compression sleeves (for legs, hips, or arms)
Heated PEMF mats (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy)
Both are designed to support circulation, muscle recovery, and nervous system regulation—without requiring effort, movement, or intensity.
Think of Revive as guided rest for your body.
What Are Normatec Compression Sleeves?
Normatec compression sleeves use rhythmic, pulsing air pressure to gently move fluid through the limbs. The sensation is often compared to a deep, wave-like massage.
Many guests use Normatec compression in Denver to support:
Muscle recovery after workouts, skiing, or long runs
Circulation and lymphatic movement
Reduced heaviness or fatigue in the legs
General relaxation and down-regulation
The pressure is adjustable, and your session can be customized based on comfort and recovery goals.
What Is Heated PEMF Therapy?
PEMF therapy uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves to support cellular communication and circulation. At Upswell, PEMF is paired with gentle heat, creating a calming, full-body recovery experience.
Guests often seek PEMF therapy in Denver to support:
Muscle and joint recovery
Nervous system regulation
Stress reduction
Rest and relaxation
The experience is subtle. You may feel warmth and deep relaxation, but PEMF works quietly in the background.
What Your First Revive Session Feels Like
First-time guests often notice:
A comforting sense of pressure from Normatec sleeves
Gentle warmth from the PEMF mat
Muscles gradually softening
A calming, almost meditative state
Feeling lighter, more relaxed, and less “compressed” afterward
Many guests are surprised by how restful the experience feels.
What to Wear & What to Bring
We keep things simple:
Comfortable clothing recommended (leggings, joggers, or shorts work well)
Provided by Upswell: everything else you need
You’ll remain fully clothed during your Revive session.
How Long Should a First Revive Session Be?
For first-time visitors, we recommend 20–30 minutes. These modalities are combined and happen concurrently with each other.
Common First-Time Revive Questions
Will it feel intense?
Not unless you want it to. Both Normatec and PEMF are gentle and adjustable. Comfort comes first.
Do I need to know what settings to choose?
Not at all. Our team will help set everything up for you.
Is this only for athletes?
Not at all. Revive is for anyone who wants to feel better in their body—whether you’re active, stressed, sore, or simply tired.
Can I relax or nap?
Yes. Many guests do.
Enhancing Your Recovery Session
Many guests pair Revive with:
Glow (infrared & red light sauna) for deeper recovery
A Mobility Flow class to support joints and soft tissue
Quiet time afterward to let the benefits integrate
If you’re unsure how to combine services, our team is always happy to guide you. Let’s connect.
